Networking Hike - Marketing Walk & Talk
Details
# Welcome to our 6th Marketing Walk & Talk: Arastradero Preserve
This time, we’re heading into the rolling hills of Palo Alto for the Pearson-Arastradero Preserve, one of Silicon Valley’s best-kept hiking secrets.
Whether you’re working through a go-to-market strategy, curious about what’s actually working in AI marketing right now, or just want to get outside with people who "get it," this walk is for you.
AllTrails Link: Arastradero Creek and Acorn Trail Loop
### Who should come
Anyone in marketing or adjacent worlds: growth, product, digital, brand, PPC, content, freelancers, founders, and MarTech folks.
### What to expect
- The Route: A 2.6-mile loop on wide fire roads with rolling hills and panoramic views of the South Bay, perfect for walking and talking. Easy to moderate; expect some gentle climbs. We anticipate the walk will take approximately 1 to 1.5 hours.
- The Vibe: Thoughtful conversations on marketing trends, AI, career pivots, and life. March means green hills and early wildflowers, the best time of year to be out here.
- The Rule: Casual networking only. No name tags, no pitches, just real connection.
### What to bring
- Layers: It warms up fast on open hills: start cool, you’ll heat up.
- Footwear: Comfortable sneakers or trail shoes (some uneven terrain and possible mud after rain).
- Essentials: Water, sunscreen, and your favorite trail snack.
